We have found Bayes to be more trouble than it's worth. We were frequently running into problems keeping the database stable and fresh. We have a site-wide install so that just made it all the more problematic.
It definitely depends on your situation. I don't think anyone can make a blanket statement one way or the other. We have had great success without Bayes and the amount of admin time necessary to keep SA running has dropped significantly.

Given the rather complete set of rules that ship with SA and which can expanded with SARE, does bayes learning really help? Won't the rules catch pretty much everything anyway? -- Jake Colman Sr. Applications Developer Principia Partners LLC Harborside Financial Center 1001 Plaza Two Jersey City, NJ 07311 (201) 209-2467 www.principiapartners.com
